everything is moving extremely fast. It's like everything at least twice as fast.. I hope this isn't because of my cpu. Any ideas? Maybe I pressed something to trigger it?
Problem: GTA San Andreas is way too fast

I think someone else with an X2 was experiencing this and posted here or in the CPU forum, perhaps search will help.
Yep,it's dual core. I disabled 1 cpu and it's normal now. I guess I'll be running it on 1 cpu from now on. With 2 cpu's the speed is so fast,you can't see the cars,when they hit you...
D'oh I just posted a Q with this very issue...I searched on Grand Theft Auto and not GTA so I didn't see this post. How do you disable 1 CPU?

Frame Limiting appears to be nothing more than enabling Vertical Synchronization, BTW. I don't see nasty tearing when I pan around when I have it turned on, but I do when it is disabled.
I'm having the way too fast play problem as well, usually when I'm indoors, say at the save point or the gym. But sometimes when I'm outside. And, yes, I do have a X2 processor.
So, how do we disable a core? And, for the record, that sucks if that is the only solution. Good grief... I haven't had a PC too fast for a computer game since the old days when the games assumed they would be on a 8MHz machine and I had 33MHz.

Install the hotfix see: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=28&threadid=1707814&enterthread=y
Use one of the mirror links to the hotfix. Don't waste your time calling MS...
You'll need to manually set the registry to enable the "fix". The MS page has instructions (which seem to be evolving???)

ha ha! Once I sold a computer to a guy and he called and said, "what's wrong with this computer???? Suddenly it's all slow and I don't get it! I didn't do anything different!" I said "did you accidentally hit the Turbo button?" Silence. 'Yeah, that fixed it. Thanks." *click*
Memories of my old 286. Turbo on (24mhz) for new games, turbo off (12mhz) to try and play my old XT stuff...
Too fast? LOL
Man that's great...I remmeber when this was an issue playing 486 & earlier games on like, a pentium pro...hahaha
